WARMUP: run to get blocks and quick standard warmup
THE THANG: running with our blocks down the greenway stopping for 50 press-ups and then 50 squats
At the pavilion, 50 merkins, 50 plank pulses then mosey with blocks to the bollards doing lunges to them then 50 step-ups w/block then lunge back a bit and mosey back to pavilion. 50 rows followed by 50 Y-raises
